Introduction
Introduction
Baldor Electric Company. is committed to providing total customer satisfaction by producing quality
products that are easy to install and operate. The BC354 is manufactured with surface mount
components incorporating advanced circuitry and technology.
The BC354 is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) control in a NEMA-4X/IP65 washdown and watertight
enclosure designed to operate Permanent Magnet and Shunt Wound motors through 7.5 Amps DC.
The efficient PWM waveform, operating at a switching frequency greater than 16kHz, provides
almost pure DC to the motor (form factor <1.05). This provides high motor efficiency, whisper quiet
operation along with less motor heating. This allows for a smaller, less costly motor to be used in most
applications. Another advantage of PWM is higher output voltage (up to 130VDC for 115VAC lines and
260VDC for 230VAC lines) which provides increased motor speed.
SAFETY NOTICE
A Warning statement indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
injury or death.
A Caution statement indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
damage to property.
A Note indicates additional information that is not critical to the installation or operation.
WARNING: This equipment may contain voltages as high as 1000 volts! Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure
that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Be sure that all power is disconnected and there is
no voltage present from this equipment or equipment to which it is or will be connected. Electrical
shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the installation and
start-up procedures.
WARNING: Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Verify there is no voltage phase-to-phase or phase-
to-neutral at the motor leads before connecting motor to this control. Motor may have high voltage
present even when disconnected from this control.
WARNING: Do not use motor overload relays with an automatic reset feature. These are dangerous since the
process may injure someone if a sudden or unexpected automatic restart occurs. If manual reset
relays are not available, disable the automatic restart feature using external control wiring.
WARNING: This unit has an automatic restart feature that will start the motor whenever input power is applied
and a RUN (FWD or REV) command is issued. If an automatic restart of the motor could cause injury to
personnel, the automatic restart feature should be disabled.
WARNING: Using a jumper to eliminate the start/stop function will cause the motor to run at the Main Speed
Potentiometer setting when the AC line is applied.
WARNING: If possible, do not adjust trim pots with the main power applied. Electrical shock can cause serious or
fatal injury. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must
be used to prevent shock hazard and safety glasses must be worn.
WARNING: Do not use this drive in an explosive environment. An explosion can cause serious or fatal injury.
This drive is not explosion proof.
WARNING: When the Enable jumper is installed, the drive and motor will start and run when AC power is applied,
when power is restored after a momentary power loss, or after an overload or TCL fault is reset. The
user must ensure that automatic start up of the driven equipment will not cause injury to operating
personnel or damage to the driven equipment. The user is responsible for providing suitable audible or
visual alarms or other devices to indicate that the drive may start at any moment. Failure to observe
this warning could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
WARNING: Do not use start/stop, inhibit or enable functions as a safety disconnect. Use only an AC line disconnect
for that purpose. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Caution: Disconnect motor leads (A1 and A2) from control before you perform a Dielectric Withstand test on the motor.
Failure to disconnect motor from the control will result in extensive damage to the control. The control is tested
at the factory for high voltage / leakage resistance as part of Underwriter Laboratory requirements.
Caution: Do not connect AC power to the Motor terminals A1 and A2. Connecting AC power to these terminals
may damage the control.

Installation
WARNING: Do not use this drive in an explosive environment. An explosion can cause serious or fatal injury.
This drive is not explosion proof.
Mounting
The control should be mounted vertically on a flat surface with adequate ventilation. Allow enough
room below the control to allow for AC line, motor connections, and any other wiring. Although
the control is designed for outdoor and wash down use, care should be taken to avoid extreme
hazardous locations where physical damage can occur. Mount the control in such a manner that
there is unrestricted air flow through the heat sink cooling fins. If the control is mounted in a closed,
unventilated location, allow enough room for proper heat dissipation so that the ambient temperature
does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
Mount the control as shown in Figure 2-1.

* Tighten the four cover screws,
in the sequence shown, to
12 in-lbs (14 kg-cm).
The BC354 is designed with a hinged case so that when the front cover is open, all wiring stays
intact. To open the cover, the four screws must be loosened so they are no longer engaged in the case
bottom. After mounting and wiring, close the cover and make sure that wires will not get caught or
crimped as the cover is closed. Tighten all four cover screws, in the diagonal sequence so the gasket
is slightly compressed (12 in-lbs (14 kg-cm)). Do not over tighten.

Electrical Connections
To avoid erratic operation, do not bundle the AC line and motor wires with signal or control wiring.
Do not bundle motor wires from multiple controls in the same conduit. Use shielded cables on all
signal wiring over 12 (30 cm). The shield should be earth grounded on the control side only. Wire the
control in accordance with the National Electrical Code requirements and other local codes that may
apply.
The control does not contain AC line fuses. Most electrical codes require that each ungrounded
conductor contain circuit protection. Install a 20 Amp fuse (Littelfuse 326, BUSS ABC or equivalent) or
a circuit breaker in series with each ungrounded conductor. Check all electrical codes that apply to
the application.
A separate AC line switch or contactor must be connected as a disconnect switch so that contacts
open each ungrounded conductor. See Table 2-1.

Remote Start/Stop Switch Connection
Warning! Eliminating the start/stop function when a jumper is installed, the drive and motor will start and run
when ac power is applied, when power is restored after a momentary power loss, or after an overload
or tcl fault is reset. The user must ensure that automatic startup of the driven equipment will not
cause injury to the operating personnel or damage to driven equipment. The user is responsible for
providing suitable audible or visual devices to indicate that the drive may start at any moment. Failure
to observe this warning could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
The control is supplied with a prewired Start/Stop switch, with normally open stop contacts mounted
on the front cover. Jumper J6 is factory set to the NO position. To operate the control from a remote
Start/Stop switch (type: (ON)-OFF-ON, SPDT), remove the white, black, and red wires from START,
COM, and STOP terminals. The leads may be taped and left in the control. The switch assembly may
be removed if a watertight seal is used to cover the hole in the front cover. Connect the remote Start/
Stop switch wires to START (momentary), COM (common), and STOP (maintained) terminals as shown
in Figure 2-6. After applying power, momentarily set the Start/Stop switch to START position. The
motor will operate at the set speed of the main speed potentiometer. To stop the motor, set the Start/
Stop switch to STOP position.
Note: To eliminate the Start/Stop function, connect the START and COM terminals with the jumper that is
provided.

Run Relay Connection
Run Relay, K1, Normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) relay output contacts are available at
TB3. These contacts will change state when the Start/Stop switch is set to START position or if the
control shuts down and goes into STOP mode from TCL. The run relay is used to indicate the state of
the control (run or stop).
Normally open or normally closed run relay contact outputs can be selected depending on the position
of jumper J5. If normally open is selected (J5 in N.O. position), the run relay output contacts will close
when the Start/Stop switch is set to START position. If normally closed is selected (J5 set to N.C.
position), the run relay output contacts will open when the Start/Stop switch is set to START position.
When the control shuts down and goes into STOP mode from TCL, or the Start/Stop switch is set to
STOP position, the Run Relay output contacts will be what the J5 position indicates. See Figure 2-7.

Enable Circuit Connection
There are two methods to incorporate an ENABLE function In the BC354. Either method of connection
may be used to START and STOP the control.
Note: When using Enable, the Start/Stop function should be eliminated. Remove the white, black, and
red wires from Terminals START, COM, and STOP. The leads may be taped and left in the control.
The switch assembly may be removed if a watertight seal is used to cover the hole on the front
cover. Connect Terminals START and COM with the jumper that is provided.
Method 1: Connect a switch to the dedicated Enable Terminals EN1 and EN2 on TB3. Remove Jumper
J7. See Figure 4-10. When the Enable Switch is closed, the motor will accelerate to the Main Speed
Potentiometer setting. When the Enable Switch is opened, the motor will coast to stop.

Signal Isolator Connection
If an isolated signal voltage is not available, an optional signal isolator may be installed. Refer to
BC145 Instruction Manual, MN1373.
Startup and Adjustments
Motor Type
The BC354 is designed for PWM rated motors. Use of higher voltage motors will result in reduction of
available maximum (MAX) speed (Trimpot Adjustment). Also, if motor is not PWM rated type, the actual
AC line amperage at full load should not exceed the motor’s DC nameplate rating.
Torque Requirements
When replacing an AC induction motor with a DC motor and speed control, consideration must be
given to the maximum torque requirements. The full load torque rating of the DC motor must be equal
to, or greater than, that of the AC motor being replaced.
Set Jumpers
The BC354 has selectable jumpers which must be set before the control can be used. See Figure 2-5
for jumper locations.
J1 - Motor Voltage Selection
Jumper J1 is factory set to 90V position for 90 Volt SCR rated motors (or 130 Volt PWM rated motors).
For 180 Volt SCR rated motors (or 260 Volt PWM rated motors), set jumper J1 to 180V position. See
Figure 2-13.
Note: If jumper J1 is set to T position, a tachometer must be connected to TB3. If a tachometer is not
used, jumper J1 must be in either 90V or 180V position. If jumper J1 is in T position, and a tachometer
is not used, the motor will accelerate to full speed and the main speed potentiometer will not control
speed.

the Motor Current Selection circuit by removing resistor R35. See Appendix A.
2-9MN731
J3 - Current Limit Mode Selection
The BC354 contains electronic current limiting which limits the maximum DC current to the motor,
(the current limit set point is established with the setting of the CL trimpot). Two modes of current limit
operation are provided.
TCL (Timed Current Limit)
In this mode the drive will turn off after being in current limit for a preset time. This time period is
adjustable with the TCL trimpot from 0.5 - 10 seconds and is factory set for approximately 5 seconds.
Note: The Overload LED will remain lighted until the control is reset.
Resetting the Control after TCL
To reset the control after it has gone into TCL, momentarily set the Start/Stop switch to START position
or disconnect and reconnect the AC line. If an On/Off AC Line Switch is installed, set it to OFF position
and then back to ON position. If the Start switch is jumpered (START and COM terminals connected)
the control must be restarted by disconnecting and reconnecting the AC line.
NTCL (Non-Timed Current Limit)
In this mode the drive will reach the preset current limit during overload and stay at that level until
a fuse blows or the drive is manually turned off. If non-timed CL operation is desired, move jumper
J3 from the factory set TCL position to the NTCL position. The NTCL position must be used when
operating in the Torque Mode. When jumper J3 is set to NTCL position, the control will not go into
STOP after it is in overload.
Note: The TCL trimpot will have no effect when Jumper J3 is in the NTCL position.
J1, J4 - Tachometer Feedback and DC Tachometer Voltage Selection
If a DC Tachometer is used, set J1, (Armature Voltage or Tachometer Feedback), to the ‘T’ position,
and set J4 to the tachometer Volts/1000 RPM position in accordance with the tachometer nameplate
value. (7V or 50V). See Figure 2-14.
Note: When using a tach-generator, the IR trimpot should be set fully counterclockwise.

The tachometer input is designed for 7 Volts/1000 RPM or 50 Volts/1000 RPM used with 1800 RPM
motors. If other than standard tachometer voltages or motor speeds are used, an external resistor,
(RT), must be installed in one leg of the tachometer.
1. Place J4 in the 7V position.
2. Calculate the value of RT as follows:
The value of RT (in Ω) can be calculated using the following formula:
RT = (1.46 X VT X S) - 19,000
VT is the tachometer voltage (in Volts per 1000 RPM)
S is the base speed of the motor (in RPM)
Example: Suppose you have a 20 Volt per 1000RPM tachometer with a 3600 RPM motor:
• RT = (1.46 X 20 X 3600) - 19000 = 86120Ω 1/2 Watt.
• Choose the closest 1/2W resistor value, which is 82000Ω (82kΩ) or 91000kΩ (91kΩ) 1/2 Watt.
• Readjustment of the MAX trimpot may be necessary to achieve the desired maximum output
voltage.

J5 - Run Relay Output Mode Selection
Jumper J5 is factory set to N.O. position for normally open relay output at TB3.
For normally closed relay output, set jumper J5 to N.C. position.
J6 - Stop Mode Selection
A switch with N.O. (Normally Open) or N.C. (Normally Closed) stop contacts can be selected for Stop
Mode. Jumper J6 is factory set to the N.O. position.
J7 - ENABLE (J7)
When connecting a switch to the dedicated Enable circuit Terminals EN1 and EN2 on TB3, Jumper 7
must be removed.
Startup
After the control has been mounted properly and electrical connections have been completed and
jumpers are correctly set, start the control as follows:
1. Verify the speed adjust potentiometer is set fully counterclockwise.
2. Apply AC power.
3. Observe the Power ON LED indicator is illuminated. If not on, refer to troubleshooting.
4. Verify correct direction of motor rotation.
Start the control. The motor shaft should begin to rotate as the potentiometer knob is turned
clockwise, or the analog speed reference signal is increased.
Verify the motor shaft is rotating in the desired ‘forward’ direction.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect, stop the control and disconnect AC power.
Switch the motor lead connections at the A+ and A- terminals.
If a tachometer is connected, the leads may also need to be switched for correct signal polarity.
If the CL LED is on, refer to troubleshooting.
WARNING: If possible, do not adjust trim pots with the main power applied. Electrical shock can cause serious or
fatal injury. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must
be used to prevent shock hazard and safety glasses must be worn.
Trimpot Adjustments
The BC254/BC254-FSR contains trimpots, which are factory set for most applications. Figure 2-2
illustrates the location of the trimpots and their approximate calibrated positions. Some applications
may require readjustment of the trimpots to tailor the control for a specific requirement.
Readjust trimpots as needed.
Acceleration (ACCEL)
The ACCEL trimpot sets the amount of time for the motor to accelerate from minimum to maximum
speed. The acceleration circuit operates when starting the control with the main speed potentiometer
rotated clockwise or when rapidly rotating the main speed potentiometer in the clockwise direction.
The trimpot is factory set to one (1) second. To increase acceleration time, rotate the trimpot
clockwise. If more rapid acceleration is desired, rotate the trimpot counterclockwise.
Note: Rapid ACCEL setting may cause the current limit circuit to activate which will extend the
acceleration time.
Deceleration (DECEL)
The DECEL trimpot sets the amount of time for the motor to decelerate from maximum speed to
minimum speed. The trimpot is factory set to one (1) second. To decrease deceleration time, rotate the
trimpot counterclockwise. To increase deceleration time, rotate the trimpot clockwise.
2-11MN731
Notes:
1. On high inertial loads, a rapid DECEL setting may cause the motor to coast to a stop slower than
the DECEL setting. To increase deceleration time, rotate DECEL trimpot clockwise. 50% rotation
represents approximately five (5) seconds and full rotation is approximately ten (10) seconds.
2. The Deceleration circuit works when rotating the Main Speed Potentiometer in the CCW direction
or when opening the P3 lead of the Main Speed Potentiometer (with an Enable Switch). It does not
operate when power is removed.
Maximum Speed (MAX)
The MAX trimpot is used to set the maximum voltage of the drive. This sets the maximum speed of the
motor. The MAX trimpot is factory set to 100% of base speed.
Adjust the MAX trimpot as follows:
1. Rotate Main Potentiometer to maximum speed position (full clockwise).
2. Adjust MAX trimpot setting to desired setting of motor speed.
Minimum Speed (MIN)
The MIN trimpot is used to set the minimum voltage of the drive. This sets the minimum speed of the
motor. The MIN Trimpot is factory set to 0% of base speed.
Adjust the MIN trimpot as follows:
1. Rotate Main Potentiometer to minimum speed position (full counterclockwise).
2. Increase setting of MIN trimpot so that motor runs at desired minimum speed.
Jog Speed (JOG)
This trimpot is operational only when the optional RUN-STOP-JOG Switch (BC157) is installed. The
JOG trimpot is factory set for 15% of base speed. With the RUN-STOP-JOG switch in the JOG position
the JOG trimpot can be adjusted to the desired JOG speed. To increase JOG speed, rotate the trimpot
clockwise. To decrease JOG speed, rotate the trimpot counterclockwise.
Current Limit (CL)
This trimpot is used to set the maximum amount of DC current that the motor can draw. The CL
trimpot is factory set to 150% of the J2 range setting. The current limit set point is determined by
the setting of jumper J2 and the setting of the CL trimpot. To increase the current limit value, rotate
the trimpot clockwise. To decrease the current limit value, rotate the trimpot counterclockwise. Some
applications require a lower torque limiting value so as not to damage the process material or the
drive train.
Caution: Adjusting the CL above 150% of motor rating can cause overheating and demagnetization of some PM
motors. Consult motor manufacturer.
Timed Current Limit (TCL)
This function provides motor overload protection. Jumper J3 must be in the TCL position, in order for
Timed Current Limit to be operational. This trimpot determines the approximate amount of time the
drive will stay in Current Limit before trip out. The trimpot has an adjustment range of .5 - 10 seconds
and is factory set for five (5) seconds. The trimpot can be reset according to the desired trip time.
Rotating the trimpot clockwise, increases the trip time.
To reset the control after a current limit time out, momentarily set the START/STOP switch to the
START position or cycle AC supply power OFF - ON.
Note: Non-Timed Current Limit - When jumper J3 is set to NTCL position and an overload condition
exists, the control will remain in current limit.
2-12 MN731
IR Compensation (IR)
The IR comp circuit is used to stabilize motor speed under varying loads. The IR trimpot is factory set
to 4 Volts for 90 Volt DC motors and 8 Volts for 108 Volt DC motors.
Note: If control is in Tach Feedback mode, the IR trimpot should be set to minimum - ccw.
Readjust the IR trimpot as follows:
1. Run the motor at approximately 30-50% of rated speed under no load and measure actual speed.
2. Load the motor in accordance with the application requirements. Rotate IR trimpot so that the
loaded speed is the same as the unloaded speed measured in step 1.
Control is now compensated so that minimal speed change will occur over a wide range of motor
load.
Note: Too much IR Camp will cause unstable (oscillatory) operation.
Troubleshooting
The control has LEDs to display the control’s operational status.
A. Power On
This lamp indicates AC power is applied to the control.
Note: When removing power to the control, the ON LED will remain illuminated for a few seconds until
the bus voltage discharges.
B. STOP (STOP)
The STOP LED will illuminate yellow when the Start/Stop switch is set to the STOP position. When
the AC line is applied, this LED will also be illuminated until the Start/Stop switch is momentarily
set to the START/STOP position.
C. OVERLOAD (OL)
The OL LED will illuminate red when the control goes into current limit, indicating that the current
limit set point has been reached (set by the CL trimpot and the position of jumper J4). This LED will
remain illuminated if the control times out in TCL (Jumper J8 set to the TCL position).
The control can be reset by either setting the Start/Stop Switch to the STOP position and then
momentarily to the START position or by disconnecting and reconnecting the AC line. If the
overload condition still exists when the control is restarted or AC line reapplied, the OL LED
will illuminate again. If the OL LED remains illuminated during normal control operation, a fault
condition may exist. See Table 2-5
2-13MN731
Table 2-5 Troubleshooting Guide
Indication / Symptom Possible Soloutions
Motor is not running or, STOP LED indicator is
illuminated.
START-STOP Switch is in the STOP position. If so, move the
START-STOP Switch to the START position.
The Main Speed Potentiometer is set to zero speed. Set the
Main Speed Potentiometer for the desired speed.
The Main Speed Potentiometer, signal input, or motor
connections are open. Verify Main Speed Potentiometer, signal
input, or motor connections.
Motor runs then stops after a short time or, the Drive
Trips due to overload (TCL Fault).
The drive must be manually restarted by disconnecting and
reconnecting the AC power. Reduce load.
Line fuse blows or circuit breaker trips. The line fuse or circuit breaker installed is the incorrect rating.
See Appendix A for the correct line fuse or circuit breaker
rating.
OL LED indicator is illuminated. Motor is overloaded. Check motor amps with DC ammeter
in series with armature. (If motor is shunt type, field may be
open or not receiving proper voltage.)
Check motor for shorts or grounds. Motor may be defective.
Check position of CL trimpot. The CL
may be set too low.
Rapid Acceleration change will cause the LED to illuminate.
Verify potentiometer setting.
Power ON LED indicator is not illuminated. Check to see if the AC Line connections have been made.
Check AC Line fuse.
Notes:
1. For any other problems, consult the factory representative.
2. In some applications, especially those requiring the motor to cycle on and off or from one speed to
another or from stop to high speeds, the OL LED may blink, indicating a transient overload.
This may be a normal condition for the application.
